Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a special discipline of dentistry concerned with aligning the teeth and jaws to improve one's smile and oral health. "Ortho" means correct or straight, and "Odont" means tooth.

Dr Lazerwitz usually recommends braces to improve the patient's physical "orofacial" appearance. Through orthodontic treatment, problems like crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or underbites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints are corrected.

We use several different techniques to correct your bite and improve your appearance. We consider your comfort, health and appearance to be of equal importance when determining which method of treatment to use. We are certified INVISALIGN providers and use the clear plastic aligners when the situation dictates.
